Pe Min Kan Wan

Nasal allergy, or allergic rhinitis, is a health concern affecting more and more people in modern societies. Our immune system seems to get more responsive to particles (such as pollens) surrounding us and generate allergic reactions. In the process, antibodies, primarily immunoglobin E (IgE), attach to cells in the nasal mucous membrane which then releases substances including histamine. Histamine opens the blood vessels and causes swollen membranes. The result is sneezing, itchy nose, and congestion. Pe Min Kan Wan treats these symptoms, without the side effects of drowsiness.

Suggested use: 3 tablets, 3 times a day

Bottle – $10

$49 – 1 Hour deep tissue massage; First time patient special 

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down painful, rigid tissue to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as chronic pain, limited mobility, and muscle tension or spasm. At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain. Patients also might feel pain and discomfort after the session, but it should subside within a day or so. Do not eat a heavy meal before the massage.

$39 – 1 hour Reiki session

Reiki uses a psuedoscience technique commonly called palm healing or hands on healing as a form of alternative medicine. Through the use of this technique, practitioners believe that they are transferring universal energy in the form of qi through the palms, which allows for self-healing and a state of equilibrium. The treatment proceeds with the practitioner placing their hands on the recipient in various positions, usually for three to five minutes. Overall, the hand positions give a general coverage of the head, the front and back of the torso, the knees, and feet. Between 12 to 20 positions are used, with the entire treatment lasting anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes. The use of the 12 hand positions are believed to energise on many levels including physical, mental, emotional and energetic. Wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Chinese Medicine recognizes menopause as a change in a woman’s body and symptoms may last anywhere from 6 months to over two years. Relief from symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia can be managed through Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine by balancing the Qi and strengthening internal organ functions.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, and the growth of fibroids or cysts affects most women. Chinese Medicine can successfully treat these disorders by regulating and stabilizing the flow of Qi and Blood.

For most women, these conditions can be successfully treated by stabilizing and balancing the flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body with Chinese Medicine, including Acupuncture and herbs.

Our treatment approach is to support and optimize your body functions.

- Improve the circulation of the blood the ovaries, uterus, and endometrium.

- Optimize Liver function to remove and prevent excess accumulation of unwanted hormones.

- Balance and regulate estrogen and progesterone hormones.

Once pregnant every women goes through physical and hormonal changes. We can help you gracefully go through the transition.

Chinese Medicine provides a safe, effective and natural approach to relieve complications during pregnancy ranging from nausea and vomiting to preventing pre-eclampsia, management of fibroids, fatigue, low back pain, headaches, heartburn, hemorrhoids gestational diabetes, and others. We encourage regular treatments throughout pregnancy to prevent complications and increase health of mother and baby.

Studies by the World Health Organization found Acupuncture is effective in relieving labor pains and facilitating pain relief and boost energy without drug use.

We can also aid in post-delivery as well.  Acupuncture can help assist in postpartum, relieve pain, and manage weight loss.

This program helps both women and men to reach their optimal health to be ready for conception.  We want to make sure the body is nourished, stress free, and balanced hormonally with or without reproductively technologies.

Irregular Menses or Coming off of Birth Control

Chinese medicine offers natural ways to balance and regulate a women’s cycle.  Herbs, Homeopathic, Nutrition, Acupuncture, Meditation, Yoga, and other life style changes may help achieve pregnancy.  Each patient have a complete evaluation and a custom treatment plan will be created.

CONSIDERING ART (Assisted Reproductive Therapies)

The Reproductive Endocrinologist doctor may recommend IUI’s (Intra-uterine-insemination) or IVF’s (Invitro fertilization). Even with ART (Assisted Reproductive Technologies), this Pregnancy Readiness Program can help increase a woman’s chances of conception and delivering a healthy baby by 42%.

3 Cycles

It is important to allow 3 cycles to prepare the body to conceive because it takes about 90 days for your ovaries to make the follicles that contain your eggs. Your egg quality depending on stresses, diet and lifestyle had 90 days to be reflected in today’s eggs. During this time we must prepare adequately.

About the Men

Sperm maturation averages 70-90 days.  It is also important for men to receive treatments and explore lifestyle changes as well.  The National Institutes of Health states 40% of infertility related cases involve men.  We can improve the sperm quality and motility through Chinese Medicine.

As Doctors of Oriental Medicine we view infertility as a disruption of Qi and blood affecting the organ systems.

In studies reviewed by Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, researchers concluded that Acupuncture helps to:

- Normalize the hormone and endocrine systems that regulate ovulation, especially if Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is an issue.
- Positively affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis that plays a key role in fertility.
- Regulate the menstrual cycle.
- Increase blood flow to the uterus to improve the chances of ovum implantation.
- Reduce anxiety and stress that may significantly decrease fertility.

Our goal is for conception and a healthy pregnancy.  We improve the free flow of Qi and Blood throughout the body and to the pelvic organs to adequately supply blood to sustain a normal menstrual cycle, to successfully implant an embryo within the uterine lining, and to support a growing fetus and a healthy pregnancy.

Blake Farmer for NPR

Sgt. Rick Remalia is familiar with pain. He broke his back, hip and pelvis in Afghanistan. Remalia says acupuncture is the first treatment that has really made a difference.

In a fluorescent-lit exam room, Col. Rochelle Wasserman sticks ballpoint-size pins in the ears of Sgt. Rick Remalia.Remalia broke his back, hip and pelvis during a rollover caused by a pair of rocket-propelled grenades in Afghanistan. He still walks with a cane and suffers from mild traumatic brain injury. Pain is an everyday occurrence, which is where the needles come in.”I’ve had a lot of treatment, and this is the first treatment that I’ve had where I’ve been like, OK, wow, I’ve actually seen a really big difference,” he says.

‘Let’s Give It A Shot’

Army doctors have been told by the top brass to rethink their “pill for every ill” approach to treating pain. For the 47,000 troops who’ve been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, some of the new options include less tried and true methods, like massage and chiropractic treatments. The military hopes to win over skeptics, many of them in uniform.  Wasserman is the top doctor for the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Campbell, Ky. To her own surprise, she’s also now the unit’s physician trained to do acupuncture.  “I actually had a demonstration of acupuncture on me, and I’m not a spring chicken,” she says, “and it didn’t make me 16 again, but it certainly did make me feel better than I had, so I figured, hey … let’s give it a shot with our soldiers here.”  In recent years, military doctors have turned to acupuncture in special pain clinics and for troops in battle zones. Last year, the Army surgeon general began making the alternative treatments more widely available.

Can Ingesting ‘Friendly Bugs’ Reduce Your Anxiety? 02/22/2012

• ¥ The beneficial bacteria (probiotic) known as Bifidobacterium longum NCC3001 has been shown to normalize anxiety-like behavior in mice with infectious colitis
• ¥ Probiotics have a significant effect on brain chemistry, modulating mood- and behavior-regulating signals to your brain via the vagus nerve, according to research
• ¥ You essentially have two brains, one inside your skull and one in your gut; your gut and brain work in tandem to influence your mood and many other aspects of health, and each needs its own vital nourishment for optimal function

Consuming probiotics, from traditionally fermented foods or a high-quality supplement, while avoiding sugar/fructose, processed foods and antibiotics as much as possible, will help to nourish your gut health and thereby support your emotional well-being as well
